This service provides library            facilities for government departments, housing complexes, Sunday schools and prison at their door step. There are 42 services points            within the city at which mobile service operates. There is a fairly large amount of leadership for the mobile library service.</p>
        <p>Book Box Project <br />
        Public library has been taken steps to improve the reading habits of children who live in shanties in the city limits. Children live in these under service areas have less attention to education as well as for reading. Hence a service for these children in 50 centers withing Slum & Shanty areas was inaugurated with the assistance of UNICEF. This provides books to children up to the age of 15 years. The book box project services provide to each point once in a two weeks time and children in these areas gather to previously decided place in the particular day. Mobile librarian provides services to these children. A child could borrow two books after getting the membership at the same time.
